About Superlative Pickleball
We bring pickleball and travel together, with recreational players at the center of the experience.
Why we bring pickleball and travel together
Founded by CEO Daniel Beeman, Superlative Pickleball grew from a simple idea: the game is more than a sport. It’s a way to meet people, discover places, and make a vacation your own.
Our free Travel Club sends monthly email news. Discounted stays, certified resorts, gear partners and group trips are coming soon. Our ambition is to build the world’s largest pickleball travel club.
Our festival vision is welcoming and recreational, with space for spouses, friends, families, local culture, and time away from the court.
Working with resorts
We help properties develop pickleball facilities, guest programs and revenue opportunities through our BAMMM!™ Model and Certificate of Excellence.

Your kind of vacation?
Is membership free?
Yes, membership is free. Travel is booked and paid for separately.
How do I connect with other members?
Connect through our social media groups today. A dedicated member community is coming soon.
Visit the Facebook group ↗Do I need to be a competitive player?
No. Our focus is recreational players who enjoy the social side of the game. The Academy of Fun™ concept centers on approachable instruction, skill development, and having a good time.
Can I bring someone who doesn’t play?
That’s part of the vision. Destination festivals are designed with spouses, friends, and families in mind, with culture, leisure, and activities beyond the courts. Specific inclusions will depend on the experience.
What can I do now?
Join for free, read resort guides and search hotel rates through our booking partner. Pickleball trip bundles are coming soon. You can also express festival interest for Da Nang or Malaysia to hear about a discounted rate when plans are finalized.
Are the locations on the map bookable trips?
The map brings together proposed festival regions and Daniel’s destination field notes. It does not show confirmed trip inventory or a list of certified partners. Every location has a status so you can see where things stand.
